Theboybell Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Fuckin' hell the thread is about the worlds top 10 cities. Not metropolitan areas. Florida is just an up market Benidorm. There are far, far nicer places where you can seek adventure. If your after theme parks opt for California, so much more on offer without the council house families who have saved up.

jazza Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 The "council house families" as you put it round here don't save up.. They sell drugs and rob tescos whilst ripping the DHSS off for thousands. if that makes me a snob, i'm a snob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkden26 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Never been a council house person and Orlando appeals to me but its a matter of opinion. You could visit Muscat, London or Darwin as other entrys on the list. California is fantastic also but if you're not wanting to rent a car the theme parks are very spread about. http://www.lonelyplanet.com/england/london/travel-tips-and-articles/76861 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were emerging from an all-you-can-eat hovel on international drive. the theme parks are ok but would disagree that you can do something different every day. It really is like Blackpool. We pulled into the Best western the first night and after seeing the room moved to the Wyndham. It was like a fucking Tarantino movie in the BW. Awful. Now, Naples, south west Florida is a world apart and proves Americans can get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Western - you get what you pay for. 7 theme parks 5 water parks hundereds of quality golf courses 3 major retail outlet centres numerous water sport centres beaches with an hours drive Plenty to do there for starters.

enzo gambaro Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 As part of the 12 days of Christmas app for iPhone, one of the days they gave away a lonely planet guide to travel for 2012. Just had a flick through and guimareas is 6th in the top 10 cities of the world! European Capital of Culture 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tylswhite Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) NYC is number one for me. Ive not been to Vegas yet but im sure that is gonna be up there too. I went to Washington DC for the day whilst in NYC and that was a lovely place but i havent explored it in much detail yet. I did enjoy Munich and Lisbon as well when i put my drink down to have a look around :-) Edited January 10, 2012 by tylswhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Chicago > NY I agree, I much preferred Chicago to NY As NB points out, it's a poor show that Hong Kong is only #8, it would certaibly be in my top 3 Las Vegas needs to be up in the top 10 as well - it's great edit: Shanghai is superb as well, as is Boston (which again I rate above NY) Fuck it.....I've probably got more than 10 cities that I think need to be in the top 10........for what it's worth, Orlando isn't one of them Edited January 10, 2012 by CWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the noodle bars on the street are fantastic. Yes, Shanghai is great. I agree with the Boston comment too, I worked there and apart from the residents thinking they're all Irish, it's a pretty interesting and architectually attractive city, though I prefer the quirkiness of NY. I've been to Orlando twice, but never to Disney World, just didn't float my boat, though I did enjoy Universal. St. Petersburg, Fl is far better.

Out of interest what makes a City worth visiting for you? As a bell end I don't only vary my like for Orlando down to theme parks although I do like them.

I thought Stockholm was very average to be honest I love Vegas and NY, The best place I've been to is Wailea on Maui; it's not exactly a City though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a good building though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
